POLITICAL CORRECTNESS KILLS

As the Army continues to investigate the Fort Hood shooting spree, and they refuse (properly) to rule out a conspiracy, and new details emerge about the courageous woman police officer who brought Major Nidal down in an exchange of gunfire, Ralph Peter hits the nail on the head...

On Thursday afternoon, a radicalized Muslim Army officer shouting 'Alahu akbar' (God is great) committed the worst act of terror on American soil since 9/11. And no one wants to call it an act of terror or associate it with Islam.

What cowards we are. Political correctness killed those patriotic Americans at Fort Hood as surely as the Islamist gunman did. And the media treat it like a case of nondenominational shoplifting.

Read the whole thing. The most important thing Peters points out, and as a fellow Army veteran I am as appalled as he is by it, is that the Army failed to deal with this officer even as he clearly, through his words, his deeds, as well as his poor performance, gave them every opportunity to subject him to disciplinary action or discharge. I cannot imagine the scene, and I suspect eventually we will get these details, of American combat veterans, returned from the horrors they saw in Iraq or Afghanistan, being argued with by their psychiatrist, supposedly employed to TREAT them, who is clearly a radical Islamist and, thus, in sympathy with their enemies. It is a DISGRACE.
